RI CANAL COM 14ISSIONLE ktILL. Remarks of Mr. Speaker WRIGHT, made In the Houss of Representatives f Penneyliania, the bill relative to a reduction of the expanses of the Board of Canal Commissioners. Febru• iiry 11,1'841, Mr: Wright rose and said: Mr. - Speaker, I ob.'" tained leave a few days since to address this House; perhaps it is not necessary to ask its in. dulgenee again.. 1. stated then and state now that I should not have participated hi this debate had I not been called mit by eroference on thepart of the gentlemali'from Crawford (Mr. LoWry,) to a vote I gaveo'h a bill, similar to the preSent one, last winter; and why 'this vote and , my course on form'r queition4 a like natureshould be drawn into thin digeusiien, lam unable to determine. I hailliot`e 4 -AVressed mysiew on this bill, and there. fare .no reason to, eipect that ( I .would be _drawn into any-dcbate that' mightbe had on it; and how my sentimorits come to be knOwn I am still lcrs able to divine. Viliat I may have said, out of doors on the subject was asilifferept matter, and I did not anticipate to - be called to nn account on "'Tr- u tioor for any °x i in private conversation. The remarks I had occasion to' make a few days ago were purely of defensive eharAter ; and the manner in which these remarks haiie been treated require from me a response. I take noth ing, btrek of all I 'said on that occasion. I then gave vent 'to .nothinghut the 'fieriest convictions of my heart, and ivby should I retract them ? They were honestly entertained, and may have been.warmly expressed; but it was that warmth which springs from an honest independence and roltich shrinks slot from duty nt any time or um. der any eircunistances. And that a fearless ex pression of oPinione.On,my part,"on . a.., subject di. - 'TOY connected with the bill under consideration Alionld call - Mown on my bend the wiatlr and ire of certain members, not a little. astonishes What is there in this bill to excite angry feelings • between members? What is there that sliOu!d break tip the friendly and - setriaVrelhtions between rCprescruntiica ? Why should certain members !be proscribed and placed on the' black list bedause. they,in the discharge of their duties to their con. erititents, take ri - pattiettlar conrie?— :Why should a hue .and cry be raised in behalf of 'the CanatComniissioners, when. we arc about to pass a law Which will displace them, when other displaCing equally worthy, equally honorable and equally deserving anon, to say the very. least, were passed and not a voice was raised in their 'behalf... • • ' • We.hatre passed . a bill abolishing tins Nicholson court, thereby displacing Judge Anthony and the three Commissioners of the Nicholson claim, but not.a word was said- in their behalf. And -*11 ) not? ,Are- they not equal_ in all that , pertainS to high minded men and deserving partizans, to the' Canal Cominissioners ? ‘Vho doubts it? and'yet . no tears of syMpathy were shed for them. No anathemas vi ere sent forth when theSe - Were cut off. And then too, wo abolished the Criminal Court Sessions'afjhe city and county. of Philadel, _phia. - Thereby stripping three more'men, do ' servedly high' in the party,. of their hon Ors and emoluments. ••tiut 'this too,' Was done without eliciting the sympathies of members. Why this difference in the treatment'of these respective bills? Was &becalm° these last officers had no patron ago to bestow T Had - no others to give ? No contrasts to let out? It cannot lid that such con siderations influenced members. - I regretted,deeply regretted the neecssitv_which compelled me to vote for both of those bills. It - pained rue to the heart to think-that I moat be in. strumental in Wining &it Jtidgo Atithimy ; the measure MS called for. The people:demand. ed the repeal of the lard creating the court over -- which he-presided, and it was not for me to refuse obedience' to such a high behest, no matter how much my feelings revolted at-it: - The case of the Judges of the. CI iminal•Court was no less-painful to me. I did dislike to see • those men torn from their seats so unceremonious. ly: and if-'it had been possible to gratify' my , friendly' feelings for -those men, it would have been a source of pleasufe to me to do so; but duty directed another way and I sacrificed my personal and private feelings on the altar of public duty. . • For the votes I, gave on these different mea. tares I was not called to an account. My private character and political consistency was not as sailed because of these votes. Now sir, why this feeling against me because I take the same course on this Canal Commis,,ion era bill? Wliy this ruthless assault on me 1, tliis unbounded abuse? There must be some secret at the bottom of all this. I have always looked upon the gentleman from 'Clearfield, (Mr. Barrett) as a personal friend.— My relations with him have been of.an agreeable . 'character,. our intereonrses have been social and .pleasant, and why lie should drag my private character, my personal acts, into this controversy, and in a way ton, as ilbnatured as it was unbecom ing and undignified; has been not the least among my astonishments. . It must he, continued Mr. Wright, an impor tant influence which will thus suddenly break np old associations, which will sever the pleasant in tercourso whieltl have heretofore enjoyed with' the gentleman from Clearfield. (Mi. Barrett explained that he had not attack. ml the private character of Mr. Wright; and that if what he (Mr. 13.) had s4d was going to break up thCir 'friendly intercourse, the fault would be with the Hon. Speaker and himself. Mr: Speaker, I will not answer that part of the' gentleman's speech%vhieb reibrs to ine persona* and which expatiatcs on my political consistency. With that, this House and the bill under consider. allot' have nothing to do. It is amuestion which concerns only the people of Luzern° and Wy. .orning and myself. rho foul slanders which been retailed here •need not my refutation. They' are the flibrice :tiou of . ,cppiniennEt,migionted in sources which 1 .- iinfEncit to mention. They have been carried "to the gentleman from Clearfield who has been - :mode unwittingly, the medium of slanders which :are baseless as the fabric of a vision. will.now.take a brief notice of somepartm of `theteriticinan's remarks, but I will notice them in a courteous and gentlemanly way. • Sir, d repeat the charge against the present Board of Canal Commissioners, which I made a fe* days ago, of having turned off subordinate officers because their Views on the subject of the Presidency did not conform to that of the Com missioners, and of filling their places with such 'as would do the biddings of the' Commissioners on that question. I repat - this because I know it to be true. My own views on the subject of the Presidency I have never publicly divulged, not becabse I was afraid to express my preference, but because no 'fit occasion bad ochurred in which to do it. I can tell gentlemen something on that subject. ./ DM much mistaken if a' very short time does not Make some dev elopements on the subject of the , Presidency, Which will open the people's eyes. The gentleman frarn Clearfield and his candidate - ere about to be sold. Aye, in less than a, munth, 'he and his candidate will be turned over, not ex. actly to the enemy, but he will be' turned over. sir, a Tyler press is to be started in Hanis h-dr& a'rew dope; and it is to be edited by an ' 'Officer or theStfite government ; an officer of your State administration—and who,until quite recent.

Why, sir, charges have been made against-me in regard to the appointment .of a' certain COm; mince.' !Lis alleged that I held it-as a rod over members to draw them into a 'certain course and for certain other•Particidar plirposeS. Now, i. have something to say in regard to thiS matter.

No, no.— I no duugh•lhce. lam the. presiding otlicer of this body; and as becomes that officer I will appoint my own committees, and exercise all other functions vested in me by the authority of the same, ha becames marl and an dependent officer. . And what has been the consequence of this re fusal on my part to he direlect to my duty; to dis regard the high behest of the power silting on the throne? 1 have been Marked ; the magazine is'placed under me to blow me sky high.

It will take a little more powder and ball than the inag. azint; up stairs contains, t., annihilate me. I wish it to be understood that, my course on this investigation business and the bill under con sideration, is not prompted by _unkind or humor. er feelings to the present incumbents in the ('amt' Board. lam influenced in my coarse in these matters by higher considerations, such as Ipride mysidt ever to be governed by. I obey the only ,masters I have in the duties pertaining to Inc as a representative of the people. My constituents are my masters, and I have their instructions in great abundance on the matter under cnnside ration ; I but folloW their directions in what aid give to probe the sores which are afflicting unto death, this Commonwealth. I would consider myself derelint ill duty; I would consider that I was aiding and dlietting in mal.vcrsations; did see them and lint Point them out. I have seen that which satisfies me,that corruptions do exist and mut-practices are eartkd on in the present administration of tlie affairs of the improye. ident of this Commonwealth, and my duty is i tn aid in their suppression, and aid I will regardless of the threats or. the abuse of these intereAed. I have said, and I repeat than regretted, deep: ly regretted to • see laws passed turning out sonic .half dozen' or more worthy judges, anal good offi cers. My heart bled for the Judges of the Crim inal and Nicholson Courts, and the other o ffi cers which were sent adri ft . My feelings were on the one side, but my duty on the opposite, and I chose to obey the latter. Yet for 'this I have not beyn held to.nn account, and for reasons known, to those who are now raising the hue and,,crY be cause of my course ,on a bill which will aftect Canal Commissioners of doubtful standing. I will now sir, give my reasons for pointing , out the Orson of Mr.. William Oyerfield in my re marks of a day or two back, about which there has been some ado, and' which has been made the pretest for the most of the assaults which have been Lando upon.= sinpe, in the debates on this floor. Whilst the gentleman from' Northampton (Mr. 'Heckman) had the fluor on that same day, and wasanimadverting upon the bill under consider. ation, this , Mr. William Overfleld,one of the Canal .Commissioners;was,•l will not say making smiths at him, but, he was deriding and attempting to ridicule Mr. if. and exerting Itisingonuity to'turn into -contempt ; tha wholeterne truths whiph fell from his lips. 'And it was 'because of this that I pointed my finger at the forth yin Whose behalf an attempt has been made to getup sympathy on this floor. Sir, my indignation was roused when :l beheld an officer high in authority - 1n this gov. ernment, leaving hisofficial 'duties, to'come into this hall of representatives of the free people of relmsylvania„to deter them fro:inn:the perflirmanea .

Ido not implicute in these machinations, my opponent.— He would not resort to unbccomingefforts to elect himself. I know !din well, and Chester Butler is , as honorable a man as ever drew, the breath of life.

Yes sir, because I will not aid and abet in these dark, mysterious, and culpable doings by covering them up and screening the offenders, I ant charg. ed with helping the Whigs to break down the State administration. It is known . thet the principle. of electing the Canal Commissioners iH one that has been steadi ly advocated by tho Whig party. Mr.. Wright thus speaks of. the .attempt to stop him in his course by the charge that he was supporting a Whig measure, and 'with"thi's extract we are obliged to conclude : Mr. Speaker, I take an expanded view of this question. It proposes ref yrin—a great, reform in an important branch of the State service.— Thosands can be saved by it; and whether it is Whig measure- or not, it is a righteous one, and one with h the, rople call for. This great and once prospeLons State is- crushed to the earth by her pecuniary embarrassments and her people are groaning under opliressive taxes; and . yet this measure which proposes a relief to both is oppos. ed. And why 7 because it thrciws.men out of of. fice—those who- by their conduct have shown themselves unworthy and unfit to hold office, and whose palpable. disregard for the public interests has lost them the people's confidence. It has been stated here that 2,700 dollars is paid annually by the CanarComniissioners for clerk hire. Now until the present adminiatration. came into power, there was never 'more than. - 81000 paid for clerk hire for this department. The bill before you proposes to reduce it ,down to 81000 e 569 more than it ought to be yet. , The people of yottrState, - ivin - pay the taxes, work for fifty cents a day and are glad to get it; yet 2700 dol lars must be extracted from the poor laborer; who toils the liVe long day for 50 cents, to pay two' clerks who do not vi.ork four hours in the day.— This is the economical—the reforming board of Canal Comtnissionere, which we are asked to keep in power; and because forsooth we express an unwillingness to do it, we are charged with going with the Whigs, SILK BUSINESS.--The experiment of manufacturing silk in the 'Auburn, N.

Our various engine and hose compa nies were promptly. on the ground, but the pro- gress of the fire before its . discoveri, the violence of the wind which rapidly spread the flames, ad: ded to the difficulty of procuring 'water in that part of the town, made all efforts unavailing to save it, and the building was entirely consumed.

Thai Canal Commissloizerfs Bill. MR: WRIGHT'S SPEECff. One of the remarkable signs of the titniss'with. in the last two weeks has been the passage ofthat sound democratic measure; a bill for the election of Canal Commisidoners by the people. This mature has been always advocated by the Whigs, and was once passed by a Legislature in which therhad the majority, but vetoed by our demo. erotic Governor.. It bas now again passed' the House of Representatives by means of Whig votes assisted by several 'honest loco feces. It will 'also, we premium, pass the. Senate, but as it. will undoubtedly receive the veto of the Governor, it may fail of becoming a law for thq want of the constitutionalmajority_ottw_d thirds to-defeat the, Governor's. negative. But of the 'necessity of taking thtimmense pntronagdof the public Works opt of the hands of the Administration there can be no question, and if this bill is defeated by the Governor and his friends, the people will knoW where td'placo the , Mr. Wright's speech, of Which we; publish a goodly portion to.tiny, will be found rich in inter. We are inclined to think the half has not been told, and yet a more beautiful exposure of the wire-working and management of the Geyer. nor and.his clique, has not appeared for some time. We hope it will be carefully rend. • • Wo have received the first number of our fritind Weekly Forum.

A illiets? Scheme. • The crisis in the affhirs of our CoMmonwealth is drawing forth wisdom from various sources ad I is ,usually the ease., James Clarke, Esq., well known as a former Canal Commissioner, has fl long article in-the Harrisburg Reporter, develop. ing a plan by which ho proposes to pay the inter est as well as . the principal of- the State Debt.— Mr. Clark's mode proposes an elegant superstrue turc,--hut-the-miscrY-is-that-the'materiel-eannot he found to lay the foundation for it. He says that 4. should a fund of $2,000,000 a year be pro vided, to be increased annually at.the rate 00100,- 000, it will extingtiish the whole debt in 27 years, eveitir-tho-Si;ato has to pay 6 per cent on all her debts'thatimay be overdue. Thus, then, by this plan, the State must in time first place rittse,s2,- 000,000 a year in addition to the ordinary expena.. cs of the government, which must go on increas ing-year by year, until the payment -in Is6B, a mounts to $4,500,000 It-is Very easy to figure out - 0nel) a scheme, but the difficulty is to raise the money. How in the first' place, are we to raise $2,000,000, to make the firSt payment 7 • Awful Calamity; GREAT LAND SLIDE AT TROY, NEW YORK -FORTY LIVES LOIT,--SEVERAL BUILD INOS DESTROYED • The Albany papers give accounts of a fearful calamity at Troy, N. Y., occasioned by a land slide, which occurred on Friday last, scarcely in. fcrior in - extent r and it is fearCd, even more des tructive of life, than that winch occurred several years ago. . . The slide occurred south of the former one, on the same 111 l—the avalanche crushing, and nearly hurying.several frame buildings, at the foot of the Vill,and_exteriding quite across Main street. The accounts vary in particulars, but all conc - UI hi' representing the loss of life, and the scene of distress as terrible beyond description. The scene presents an awful and melancholy sight. Babes.in their cradles, mothers with their children in their arms, and stalwart men, who but two'hours before iiicathed freely and in good . health, had been taken from the ruins, mutilated and mangled corpses. The buildings destroyed were-nearly all new, and had but recently been erected. • Eight or ten of the dwelling occupied by poor families,were crushed and buried beneath the mass of earth. In these, it is supposed; there were net less than thirty or forty persons, only ten or twelve of whom escaped. ‘Vithin an hour after the occurrence, nine bodies were dug from the ruins, five of which Were without life; one partially injured, and three'not beyond recovery. A man tiom the-countiy, passing at the time with his team, leaped from his sleigh, and eseap ed. The horses and load of wood were buried beneath the earth. The great reform bill which has passed the House of Representatives by means of the Whigs aided by a--few of the !twos, and which provides fur the election of Canal Commissiot.ers by the people, must be regarded, - says the Philadelphia Inquirer, as a measure of more than ordinary in terest, and one which, if carried into full and complete effect, will have a salutary influence up on the affairs of the State. The Bill, as it passed the House, provides that a board of Commission ers shall be elected by the Legislature within ten days after the passage of the act,—both houses on joint ballot to elect the President, and each house an assistant—and u new board to be elected by the people at the annual election next fall, and one member annually thereafter. It providmialso for a reduction of the expenses of the board—salaries of officers, &c. &c. We believe,—the great majority of the people of Pennsylvania believe, that a large 'pardon of the indebtedness of this CoMmonwealth Is justly attributable to the profligacy arid extravagance which have characterized the management of bur pub/ic• works. For years, these works have been made use of; not with a view'solely for the public good and the financial prosperity of the Common wealth,but, as a means to reward political favorites and assist the political destinies of the State ad. ministration. Thus, millions have been squan. dared, and the State Debt has been increased year after year; until it has grown to such ,magnitude as to be really alarming.: By the new plan, it is to .be' hoped:that this Iniquitous system will be avoid. MI, the resources' of the State husbanded, and a commencement made in the great work of reform valculated eventually to restore the eharacter'and revive the credit at the CommOnwealth. The bill, however, has yet to receive the 'auction of, the Senate and tole aubmitted to the Governor.. , The End not yet! -, Wednesday last , the 15th, ram one of the days. fixed mpon by , Second - Advent preachers; down mast; for , the destruction Or-our beautiful *Aid.

As it is generally belie - tied that the bill will be vetoed; it would hardly be worth ybur while to Pub lish it, but that-your readers may be able to judge of the validity of the causes which will be Sllled as the reasons intr:gain arbit arily . defeating the action of-the representatives of the people. Whatever these reasons may be, the real one is that Huntingdon county is nut included in a locothco distriCt, so that his nephew, General Wilson,can stand some chiuice . of being forced into Congress. Give him a district then, and my word for it heWill sign the bill-though it should not, contain a population of more than 40,000, while otitei. ‘Vhig districts have 100,000. So much ,confidence have 1 in David.lL Porter's patilOtism. He would see every man in the State made a pauper if hiS family could be aggrandized by the general ruin.' , L think I told you in my last that the bill to legis late out of office the present corrupt Board of Canal Commissioner', and to provide fur the manner of electing their successors, had passed second reading. It was again taken lip no third reading on Monday; but the Porter corruption:o,s cowhide(' to deleat ac tion upon it until Tuesday.

Mr. It quntlyt and Mr Heck man also made able replies to the :antic that 11811 for aweek been heaped thorn their heads by the admin istration throe-A.li its aptiLigists in the House. The immaeulacy of the administration, in general and of the eotnntissioners iii I)artienlar, was Again strenu ously avowed by Lowry, Elwell, Barrett :WO The bill was at last di,pused of, the vote on its final passage being 6 yeas to 32 nays, very nearly two to one. - _ You will xee by the proceedings of the Muse that the Committee on Banks have been instructed by a lergemakaity-tdbeing_in.a bill anthoLizingthe issue of small notes. That committee reported a bill to day in accordance with its instructions, though the some co mini ttee, th rough its Chairman. Deford , made a long report 'against granting the proYer of sundry petitions which had been referred to it in favor of the s.tme object. Thk f liowever, only fa preserve a show of consistent as the federal Inenfi,cos have always preached so lon Ily against small notes. This report will go to the people as evidence that the liven foci> majority are opposed to them, and their votes in favor of them will be no evidence to the contrary! But no matter"; if they will give the community small bills, always redeemable in specie, no one will stop to criticise their consistency very closely. The Judiciary Committee reported to-day, also under instructions, a bill to reduce the pay of a 1 officers in the employment of the State., whether sal: 141`ied or otherwiie.. I think I have already intimated that this would prove an attempt merely to deceive 'the public. It is very *lonian( a holier this bill a ill even be actcyl upon, notwithstanding it was ordered, when the resolution instructing the committee to bring in, the bill was pissed, to be made the first order of every day until disposed of. No bill of this kind can ever be acted upon which touches the pay of members. There are a great Imply of both parties who would vote to reduce their , pay to two dollars per day, or vote in favor of any other measure of reform. But I fear that the majority will , kct other. wise, at least in the Bouse. -A bill has already been under consideration for several days in the Senate, which will shorten the session to one !winked 'days, limit the contingent expenses of the I.egislature, and redreis.other abuses, and has passed a second read ing. The Senate, therefore, ought perhaps to be ex cepted. Certainly. it ought if this bill passes. ~But on the other hand, a committee of the Senate have reported the bill from the Ilotise relative to the reform Comthissioneetiiiffiee, with a recommendation that it be negatived. This ought, it may be, to be au offset against the show of reform evinced by the Legislative reform bill. If both these bile should be passed into laws, they would save the Commonwealth nearly or quite one hundred thou sand dollars per annum. There would be substan tilthreform But one can have no confidence that any thing will be effected until it has been positively done. Our locofocos are beginning to come to their senses, at least in relation to the Tariff, or at least they have changed their course upon the subject, as you Will diScover by their having.passed the follow ing resolutions by a wry large majority. On second reading the first section was passed by a vote of 75 to it, and the second by a vote of 45 to 40;n1though the friends of Mr. Clay voted against it, for what reason will be very obvious to you.' The other sec tions were read a second time by very large votes, and theresolutions were finally passed by a vote of 76 yeas to 11 nays.
